The Schecter Guitar Research Omen Extreme-6 Electric Guitar is built for players ready to push their skills to the limit. Its slim, fast maple neck and 24 X-jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable yet capable platform for complex solos and speedy riffs.

Powerful Pickups Produce a Plethora of Tones
The Omen Extreme-6 is equipped with Schecter Diamond Plus humbucking pickups that deliver a range of tones suited for high-gain styles. A push-pull coil split on the master volume and tone knobs provides single-coil sounds for added sonic possibilities.

Black chrome Schecter tuners provide an eye-catching accent while ensuring precision tuning.

I traded up from my Ibanez RG for Schecter's Omen Extreme 6; my first Schecter, and was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship. It was perfectly playable right out of the box, has a great feel, and looks stunning. No regrets. This'll be my daily driver for a LONG time! :)
An amazing and beautiful guitar.

Totally stoked on this purchase. I was looking for something solid with an inexpensive price point and came across this Schecter. I've never owned a Schecter before so I was unfamiliar with them but they put some serious quality into this instrument. Feels good in my hands and plays really fast and it looks fantastic. I do recommend upgrading the pickupups but if you're just looking to play around the house with this, it's set up and ready to go. Highly recommendable
I would buy this guitar again and again and then again..

For a middle-aged guy who played a BC Rich growing up and got away from it for many years and decided to do some thing as a hobby again the Schechter was a great buy and value for someone like me...I started out with the C6 elite but definitely see a big difference going to the omen!!

I understand why people call this a beginers guitar. Some the components are cheap and the guitar felt unfinishhed. I own 8 guitars. All of them are higher end Made in America guitars. This guitar caught my eye solely because of looks. I decided to purchase it as a project guitar. After receiving the guitar it needed to be properly set up. I straightened the neck, leveled and radiused the fret board, re-crownded the frets, filed the fret ends and rolled the edge on the neck binding. I proceded to replace the bridge with a Graph-Tech Resomax NV2, and the tuners with Schaller M6 ones. I replaced the tone capacitor with an Orange Drop NOS .027 UF. The pickups are versatile and offer a wide variety of sound. I now have a guitar that has a fast articulate neck and fret board, great tone and sustain all for $160.00 in parts and my labor. This is no longer a " beginers guitar" . The guitar has great bones and was easy to convert to a guitar that you would pay over $1000.00 dollars for. Good job Schecter!
